Hi, the layout tool doesn't allow me anymore, to drag whole bars downward on my second page of
score for single instruments (fairly simple), only upwards, thus making it impossible to create
a good layout. I already extended the editing area/Regin in the arrange to no avail, no time
siganture changes no tempo changes etc. involved. It doesn't work anymore, after i have
finished one of the Instruments. Any help on that? Experience?
Thanks,
best Regards, Frank
PS. could it be related to corrupt song files?
I already had another problem with some songs, that didn't allow me to copy midiregions, via alt-key+drag, without getting aleatoric note/pitch changes in the copied region, Chaos!
Anyone experienced that?
Also: what does the orange/amber padlock symbol on the page layout, left to the score, mean?

Hi Franky,
I've heard of this issue before. I think the solution is to zoom in or zoom out using the zoom controls in the bottom right of the Score Editor window.
I don't think it's a corrupt song file :)
Does that help?
Cheers

Hi, just got this Information from musicspirit at the Apple support Forum, but the alt+drag midi Region in the Arrange page remains a mystery, also, I still would like to know, what the small padlock on the left of the page layout means.
Anyway, thank you, the Zooming did the trick,
i still consider the inability to move bars downward with the layout tool at times a serious Bug! It is not mentioned anywhere in the manual, that such a behaviour is to be expected.
Best Regards, Frank

Hi Frank,
Glad that has helped.
I'm not sure about the orange padlock. Where is it exactly? Could you post a screen shot here?
As for the option - drag in the Arrange not working... does option dragging work in any of Logic's other editors, and importantly in any other applications?
If not, check in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse [Modifier Keys...]
that the alt (Option) key is not assigned to something else.

Thanks Franky,
Here's the screenshot again:

I've not come across this in the Score editor before. Can you describe what you did before the amber padlock appeared?
Is the region SMPTE locked?
Is the track locked?

What about the alt-drag issue? Is that solved now?
Thanks
